Common Mistakes Brazilians make when
speaking English
Speaking using Translation
Learning English is difficult.
One problem is that the temptation is always there just to
simply translate what you say in your own language into
English.
But in many instances this simply does not work.
Here are a few examples of problems that Brazilians have
when they translate Brazilian Portuguese directly into
English.

Speaking using Translation
When you speak using translation you make mistakes, but
even worse you form bad habits that are hard to break.
The best way to break a bad habit with your spoken
English is to test yourself over and over to create a new
habit.
Repetition here is the key to learning.
Big Tick apps are designed to create good habits and
correct mistakes that have become established.
